Romano Electric is the SURPERB.

Courteous, helpful, dependable! Fully engaged every step of the way. Debra is one of the best customer service people I have ever dealt with. Brian was prompt, professional, and efficient. They kept me apprised every step of the way, and communicated everything very precise, and clear, loved that they dealt directly with my city for me so I didn't have to lift a finger.

Kudos!

I've read the many positive reviews here and decided to try this company.

My phone call was unanswered and directed to voicemail. The voicemail system said that the mailbox is full and cannot accept new messages.

I will try to call back later, but this doesn't seem to bode well. I hope I'm wrong.

Update: 6/28/18 - Still unable to contact this company via the phone number given. Calls go directly to voicemail; mailbox is full. Don't know if he has quit business or what, but this comes across as very unprofessional.

We scheduled to have some electrical repair done on our home. Devin arrived on time and got right to work after learning about our issues.

Highlights:
On time
Knowledgeable
Professional
Courteous (asian home, shoes off. would add 6th star if I could because Devin already knew before walking in)

We will definitely use Romano Electric again in the future, and we would highly recommend them to family and friends.

Time to start the remodel. One of the expectations with the contractor was that we already knew who would do all the electrical in our home.
Jason Romano.

When you want it done right the first time, call Jason.

Look no further for an electrician: Romano Electric is the BEST. I was thoroughly impressed with my entire experience with Romano Electric, from booking my appointment to the work they did on my house. They went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations.

I wanted to have a ceiling light fixture swapped out. I talked to Debra, who was so awesome, to schedule an appointment. She was so easy to talk to and she tried to find me an opening that worked with my schedule. The first available appointment was a month out (and totally worth the wait). Debra said she would try to move my appointment up if anything opened up. I love that she offered that option. I didn't have to ask. I appreciated that Debra called me the day before my appointment to confirm details and told me that Jason would be the tech coming to my house.

Jason and his team came to my house right on time. They were the nicest, most personable people ever. I showed them the new light fixture to be installed and turns out I didn't have the right light bulbs. No problem at all. Jason went out and picked up the right bulbs while the other two techs worked on removing the old fixture and installing the new one. Efficient. They checked with me before finalizing the placement of the fixture to make sure I was happy with the height. They used drop cloths to make sure everything stayed clean, vacuumed after and even offered to dispose of the old light fixture for me. These guys went above and beyond.

After the appointment, Debra followed up by emailing me my invoice and the contact information for other contractors that Jason recommended when were talking at the appointment. Again - Romano Electric went above and beyond. I felt more like a friend than a customer. You really can't beat that.

Kind, direct, fixes the problem -- and if it looks like he can't fix the problem Jason takes the time necessary w/o extra charge to figure it out. Comfortable to have around, his team knows there stuff -- !!! -- rates are very good, and secretary is quick to respond. Excellent.

I read all the great reviews on Yelp so I decided to give these guys a try. I have mixed a review. First the positive; yes, they came out same day, troubleshot the problem and were clear in what needed to be done. Great job.

The negatives are that he didn't have the part I needed with him so I paid for an hour of time to t/s the job only. I had to go out later that day and buy the part and install it myself. Which is ok and I am happy to have the t/s help but in the end I still had to pay the full price for the hour.

My expectation is that if I have to buy and install the part that there should be some sort of break on price.

Jason just left my house and fixed all my electrical issues. Jason truly is one of the good guys. If you have any electrical issues that need to be fixed, stop right here, look no further. Romano Electric is the way to go. Do yourself a favor and call them.They are honest and very dependable. Thank you so very much Jason. Your the best!!!!

Wow. I'm not sure if I could have had a more perfect electrician contracting experience.

I needed to upgrade my [very old and rusty] ~100A residential fuse box to a breaker panel with 200A service. I contacted at least 4 different electricians, all with excellent or good reviews on Yelp. All the others seemed decently nice and knowledgeable, but Jason was by far the most responsive and personable. He and his assistant did top-notch work and the hardware was excellent quality. Jason even took care of everything with the city and PG&E, and he delivered the city permit to me by hand.

On top of all of that, Romano gave me the fairest price among all the electricians I consulted. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. Jason always responded to voicemail messages; he patiently answered my questions; and he always showed up when he said he would. Professional, friendly, and hassle-free. Do yourself a favor and call Romano Electric when you need an electrician.

Jason and his staff had done a wonderful job for our house. He was punctual and knowledgeable. I had to wait a long time to book an appointment and he's not cheap. Yet, money well spent and it was worth waiting. If I need more electrical work done in the future, I will go back to him for sure.

Like a lot of reviewers here, I found Jason thru Yelp.

Yep. He's a great guy and did a fantastic job! I installed a backyard studio/shed and he came out late last year (while it was all still a dream) to assess the situation and give me some ideas.

The original ballpark estimate was a little low - but that was long before I'd finalized my needs (i.e. I didn't have my electricity-hungry ceramics kiln yet).

He came out, again, to re-work the bid - and I loved that he designed it as if if were his own workshop.

Yeah, his schedule is pretty full and you can't expect same-day (or even same-week!) service - but that's just a testament to the good work he does!

Once the job was scheduled, he delivered what he promised and on-time. Great job!

Recently we had an emergency situation with our electrical panel. We started getting flickering of lights and power drops on a couple of our circuits. I noticed also that we had some arching in our breaker panel. This finally led to these circuits dropping out completely. The final diagnosis was, a failed master breaker.

The one thing I really dread is trying to find a (honest, professional, courteous, fair and reliable) trades person to handle a home repair/remodel job. I looked and ran across ROMANO ELECTRIC, which by the way checked all desired attributes in the above sentence. They had really good reviews, almost too good to be true. I decided to take a chance and give them a call. After Debra answered the phone she told me what I needed to do to get the ball rolling with the local power Co. She explained the process and started to work the issue even before I had decided to hire them. They got me scheduled into their busy schedule and took steps to get my problem resolved ASAP. Debra gave a GREAT first impression for this team.

Jason and his assistant Kurt showed up on Day 1 to do the prep work for the main panel upgrade the following day. They where here on time, did a great job, and on top of that, explained every aspect of the job. Their team took care of the permit, PG&E, and the inspection process, giving us the FINAL inspection pass on the 3rd day. All the work was done as promised, done on time, done very professionally, and done very well. They took the time to answer all of our questions and cleaned and left everything the way it was before the arrived. They treated our home like it was their own. The only thing, which went wrong, was that I forgot to unlock the gate for them on their longest day of work. And, they understood. No problem.

Anyway, in conclusion, if you need an electrician, you won't go wrong with Jason and his team. Take a chance like we did and you'll be happy you did.

Ditto to everything that Sylvia said! Jason and Debra are so amazingly professional. I hired Jason based on the Yelp reviews I saw and am very glad I did!

We had an attic fan and whole house fan installed in our house earlier this month. Jason was always on time and very professional. He layed out all our options ahead of time so we could make an educated decision.

He is very personable and his partners are equally professional.

I am extremely picky about the work done on our home and firmly believe that you get what you pay for. His prices are fair and the work is fantastic!

We will hire him again if the need arrises for an electrician.

Thank you Jason and Debra!!!!!

Jason has so many good reviews yet I'm giving him another.
I hired him to install 2 low voltage cans in my master bedroom for a fixed quote.

It turned out to be a pretty tough job because of super cramped space in the attic and a very difficult wall to run wiring in as it was sheathed in plywood and obstructed by wood members.

He did it anyway. Came on time, protected our bed and surroundings and vacuumed up around his work as well.

He's personable and professional. I would hire him again.

My second review for Jason and crew in the past seven years. These guys are great and really go the extra mile. Our latest job involved moving an outlet higher on a wall for a flat screen TV, installing recessed lighting and a ceiling fan in the guest room and switching out the old recessed lights for LEDs. There's no attic so the crew had to cut holes through the dry wall to feed the wires. It was all cleanly done and easily patched. Jason estimated two days for all the work, but they finished in one (long) day and left the place spotless. He even sent some guys back on short notice to install some dimmer switches (my oversight) and to fix some outlet boxes that my remodel crew had messed up. I can't say enough good things about Romano. The guys are just good workers, efficient and reasonably priced. You won't be disappointed.

So I had Jason out here a third time to fix some issues I was having with kitchen outlets that I had installed. Two outlets were not active and the garbage disposal wasn't reacting to the switch and it would spark when I turned it on. Jason was happy to come and take a look at the problem.

So it turns out that I am not the best at my own electrical circuitry and all of the issues that I had were because I didn't quite know what I was doing: loose connections and I hadn't broken the tab on the side of the outlet to allow the garbage disposal to function via the switch. Jason fixed them in about 40 minutes without any issues. AND he did the work for free!! My embarrassment for my mistakes I guess was enough payment.

Once again, Jason has proved himself dependable, knowledgeable, and professional. I will always call him for any electrical work that I need done and I highly recommend his services.

The light were not working in both our 2nd floor bathroom and master bathroom. After having my husband spend a day of trying to figure it out, I searched out to Yelp to try and find an electrician. This is when I came upon Romano Electric and Jason.

Jason was great. As soon as I called him, he came out the next day and troubleshooted the issue. He was running early and called me to ask if it was ok to come early and completed the work in 2 hours. Even his rate was reasonable.

Then he took the time to explain to me and my husband (over the phone) what the problem was. I will definitely call Jason again when I need to have any electrical work done.

Coco B.

Jason arrived on time, installed my attic fan and cleaned up all in an hour. Great prices from a great small business owner.

Jason will be back to install my whole house fan and upgrade my AC outlets!!!

Thanks Jason and Deb!!!

I found Romano via Yelp to do an attic fan install. After talking with both Jason and a bit with Debra, I realized that a whole house fan might be a good addition, too, and we got the rebates from the city. Jason took the time to come out, talk about the options, and to talk about what it would take to install them both. He didn't pretend to be an expert on whole house fans, just offered his honest assessment from experience.

The installs went great, and his up front statement that he was subcontracting out the attic fan installation to get the roof work done right was spot on (Visions Roof Designs - I reviewed them too). One thing I asked Jason to handle was the permits. I needed it for the rebate on the whole house fan and, not having worked with permits before, felt more comfortable paying Jason a bit extra to do that work for me.

It turned into quite a chore for Jason, but he took care of everything along the way. He had to convince the inspector's office that the fan was one unit and did not involve installing duct work and therefore didn't need a mechanical permit. He found out exactly what the county wanted to get this covered under an electrical permit. He then did the extra work when the inspector's office asked him to do yet one additional thing, the day of the inspection. As the inspector put it, it was good before, now it was super super great and we were all set.

I cannot say enough about the effort that Jason put in. He clearly cares about his work. He takes the time to talk with you and I would use him for any job down the road.

Jason just finished doing electrical work at our Eichler house in Palo Alto. This was the third time we have hired him to do a collection of small jobs in our older house, and we would not hesitate to use him again. This time included putting in an outside speaker system that he helped me design and wiring my home office for internet. He knows his stuff and is just as comfortable working with me, the non-technical one as he is talking with my husband, the super-technical controls engineer. He has done a number of safety fixes to address our aging electrical panel issues as well. He is reliable and honest and works hard at a reasonable price. We always get fast and reliable support from Debra in the office, too I hope to update this review with more details when time permits but I didn't want any more time to go by without giving Romano Electric the five stars they deserve.

Dave S.

08/03/2010 12:00:00 SA

I selected Romano Electric based on all the 40 Yelp reviews that exisited at the time of my search. I'll keep this brief and to the point:

Jason deserves every five star review he has received. We are mounting a TV above our fireplace and needed a new outlet installed.

Great work, respectful of my home, and very fair prices. I highly recommend Romano Electric for any work you need. I know Jason will be back at my house for our next project.

fantastic service. The guys that come out are always very helpful. We have had them come out for light fixture installations, troubleshooting, and we are always satisfied with the results. Romano electric is very affordable and we highly recommend them for all your electrical needs, big or small.

Donna S.

1/24/2010

We initially asked Jason to come by to take a look at what we hoped was a small issue (dishwasher and garbage disposal stopped working), and then planned on talking about what we were concerned might be a BIGGER issue (wiring done by previous owner).

Not only was Jason able to put our mind at ease about the wiring issue, assuring us we didn't need to be concerned about an overloaded circuit and explained the whole reasoning behind it, but he was able to pinpoint the kitchen issue and assess the quality of our electric panel. All in a very friendly, professional manner.

The thought of hiring an electrician is always scary when you start considering how much things can add up. Our last experience with someone else resulted in an $80 charge for him to spend 5 minutes looking at the problem. We were confident in the service Jason provided, and not only would recommend him to others, but will be calling him if we end up with any other electrical issues!

We have been so impressed with the service of Romano Electric ! From the front office (Debra was terrific to work with), to the EXCELLENT electricians ( Jason and assistant) who worked at our home....everyone was very professional, friendly, and concerned about the safety of each project we needed to be evaluated and and fixed. This company also truly stands by their work ! We have been so pleased and will not hesitate to call them again for all the electrical work at our home---even though we live in Menlo Park ! Finding an outstanding electrical company at reasonable prices is a true rarity .

This is the second time I have used Romano for my electrical needs. Two years ago, Jason installed two ceiling fans, added a wall socket, and mounted a flat screen tv. The work was done quickly and he also cleaned up afterwards.

This time, he installed another fan as well as looked into my home heating and my vents and walls which were covered with soot. For the heating, he diagnosed that it was not burnt out and it just needed a simple cleaning. Considering I was ready to overhaul my existing heating for a new one, I appreciate his professionalism for recommending an easy and economical fix of how to clean my vent and keep it looking new.

In addition, I'd like to commend Debra and Jason for their flexibility in squeezing me in to their busy calendar. Initially, my appointment would have been at the end of September but Debra kept checking with me (since I travel a lot for work) as slots opened up until we found a suitable one.

I did quite a lot of house remodeling over the years. I used to hire people through Diamond Certified, they were good but pricy.

Jason with Romano Electric is the electrician you can really trust. Here are the qualities of his professionalism
- return phone calls in a reasonable time frame (remember, people get busy when they deliver quality services, it's reasonable to allow 24 - 48 hours for returning your call)
- reasonable price
- keep the area clean
- pay attention to detail
- on-time
- courteous
- welling to work on small projects
- always smiles

I highly recommend using Romano Electric for you next electrical project.

Yep, another 5-star review for Jason! We hired a general contractor (Construction Dynamics....learn from our mistake and stay clear of him!!) to bring the plugs in our kitchen up to current code. About half way through the job, we found out this guy didn't even *know* the current code (how do licensed contractors get away with this?). So, Jason to the rescue! He came in and quickly fixed our problems AND did some additional work for us. Jason did whatever was needed to pass City of Santa Clara inspections and always with a smile...YAY!!! He is just a great, trustworthy guy with great work ethics and a lot of fun, too! Goes without saying that we will be hiring Jason again if we need electrical work done. Thanks, Jason!

I have used Romano Electric twice now, and had them out for three estimates (1 time I just decided to postpone the job.) I have had both Jason and Devin do the work and they are both meticulous and knowledgeable. These guys do not shy away from non-electrical work to get the job done. They've cut through concrete and tile for us. (I have had other contractors tell me that I'd need to hire someone else to do part of the job.) They are very professional and friendly. I personally like to understand the work that people do to my house, and they are happy to explain what they are doing. Particularly during an estimate, I like to go over the planned work. Some contractors will just give you a price with little detail, while Romano Electric will explain the work and possible options. They have also been honest about what I might want to do to save money, rather than trying to up-sell the job.

As previously mentioned, both Devin and Jason are meticulous.
I had them put a receptacle behind my stove where no one will ever see it, and they still took the time to cut a very clean hole and level the plug. They also label the wires that they install, as well as existing wires that are in the same boxes. This is an excellent practice and one that can save trouble down the line. They also always put the screws on the face plates such that the slots are plumb. Its these little things that show me that these guys really care about their work.

As you might expect, these guys get busy so its best to plan ahead for scheduling. I don't fault them for not being able to do the job the next day, but its one thing to be aware of. They seem to get estimates done quite quickly even if you have to wait a week or two to get the job done.

I've had other bids, but Romano is the only electrician I've hired. I have great experiences, and have no desire to try anyone else. I haven't checked on the best competing prices, but the bids from Romano have been reasonable. I feel that doing the job right the first time is more important that doing it cheaply and not liking the outcome.

Our lights to half of our house went out. We called Romano who suggested that we call Silicon Valley Power first to see the problem was the power coming into the house, and if so, then they would fix it for free. That did not turn out to be the problem, but that was a very honest approach that we greatly appreciated. Jason and Kurt then came out the next morning and had the problem in our attic quickly fixed. They were professional, incredibly nice and even swept up before leaving. We highly recommend that you call Romano for your electrical needs!

Jason is as good as they come...personable, professional, and honest. We have used him for a couple home improvement projects. We would never call anyone else and have absolutely no reservation in recommending him to others.

I found Romano Electric on yelp (of course!). Jason came over to fix a couple of light fixtures. He is honest, professional, personable and knows what he is doing, his pricing is reasonable and he shows up on time. He will definitely be our go-to guy when we need electrical work done in future..

Jason was recommended to me by my boyfriend. He came over to diagnose a dead circuit in my bathroom. He exceeded all my expectations!

He is professional, prompt, personable, polite and very reasonably priced. He solved the issue quickly, and offered very prudent recommendations for the future.

I will definitely hire Jason for my upcoming electrical work.

Sylvia G.

07/12/2012 12:00:00 SA

I will add my voice to the high praise given to Jason Romano and Debra. He will be starting the work in two weeks, but from the walk-through to discuss the job, it was apparent that he was trying to find the best solutions. He discussed options without prompting, which the other electricians I've used do not do.

Jason is very personable, and walked in and, without prompting, put covers over his shoes. Earlier in the morning, I had a bad experience with an electrician who came highly recommended in the Willow Glen neighborhood in SJ, and when this electrician walked in, he immediately said I bought the wrong outlet cover, which was not true, as he thought I had a slab foundation, and said he wouldn't be responsible for damage to the floor. That statement did not inspire confidence. Jason, on the other hand, talked through how they will identify the right place by going into the crawl space, and gave me full confidence that it would be done right.

Also, the other electrician wanted to tear up the dry wall in a bathroom and drill holes through a number of studs to install a new outlet by pulling the circuit from another outlet. Jason, on the other hand, will come up from underneath so that we won't tear up the dry wall. If field conditions make that not possible, he has a dry wall contractor who will come in and repair the wall for a modest cost as part of the job instead of my having to call in a dry wall contractor for what would be a very small job.

If things don't turn out superbly, I will re-post, but I have a good sense about Jason after having done a lot of remodeling work.

UPDATE: It was as I hoped! Jason was meticulous in cutting up and fitting the floor outlet and aligning it with a floor carpet so it wouldn't appear crooked. He was able to install another outlet in the bathroom without cutting up the dry wall. Very happy. I thought the price for the several hours he spent at my house was fair, and I am planning to use them again!

Jason and Aaron of Romano Electric were able to mount my 46 LCD-HDTV on a wall, in my condo, with ease.

They had several challenges such as limited wall space, a heating vent in an odd location, a variety of viewing angles and levels, and my proposed use of the TV (computer monitor, TV, movies, gaming). I found that they were able to overcome these challenges and more.

Their high quality standards and attention to detail is amazing, my TV looks great and I am very pleased with the component set-up! They made cost-effective decisions by proposing worthwhile options within my budget, and they took care of purchasing only the parts needed to get the job done. Both Jason and Aaron have a great ability to be patient and focused with their work, and with me. I found them knowledgeable to see possible issues or complications before they happen, so they were able to find ways to avoid them and prepared for the work on future component additions.

Jason and Aaron were very conscientious and respected my personal concerns (no shoes on the carpet...). I did not feel that they were intrusive or pushy, at all. When they finished, they went over how things work or what was what with the wiring, and made sure I understood them or could operate things myself. Finally, before they left, they cleaned up their work area and made sure they left it how it was when they walked in - actually, it looked better from before they arrived!

I can see that they enjoy what they do and I look forward to working with them in the future.

I would highly recommend Romano Electric to anyone who I know, or to anyone looking for quality workmanship for mounting flat-screen TVs.

*thanks, guys*

Jason and his assistant just did a really awesome job installing some surface-mount parabolic lights in my new house. They also fixed some outside wiring that was messed up by the previous tenants. He gave me a quote that was about $180 less than the other company that quoted the job for me. I couldn't be happier, thanks Jason!

Last spring Romano electric rewired my entire home, added recessed lights, and upgraded my breaker to two hundred amps (everything done to code). Jason is by far one of the best contractors I've ever delt with. I did an exhaustive search for an electrician and Jason was the only one willing to do the work without opening up all our walls. His pricing was more than fair, and he has done follow up work at no charge. For any size job Jason is the go to electrician in the bay area.

Sam K.

3/18/2011

Found Romano Electric on Yelp, and seems they had a lot of legit reviews. Decided to give them a try and I was not disappointed. Jason did a great job on replacing some bad outlets and grounding some of my outlets that weren't grounded. Very personable and cool, likes to explain the problem and how it is fixed which I appreciated. Price was very reasonable, and cleans up not leaving a big mess. Very professional. I know who I'm calling in the future for ANY electrical work. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

V T.

Had Jason come back to wire and install a new outlet. Jason now has an office manager, Debra and communications is superb. The Romano electric team is super busy but if you can schedule ahead in advance, the wait is worth it. Jason knows his stuff and does clean work.

Bucky M.

10/06/2011 12:00:00 SA

Jason is a very good electrician, professional, friendly, and quick. His rates are reasonable, about the going rate for this area. He was available the same day I called. (A past review said he was booked for over a month. I think that was in the past during a crazy period for him, but give him a try, he may very well be available the same day as he was for me).

I'd definitely use him again and recommend him to friends.

Rachel F.

Jason is Awesome! He came in and fixed some difficult/odd wiring issues we inherited from the previous owners. He did it quickly and happily. He attacked simple issues with the same attention to detail, and when one of our issues was so simple we should have figured it out, he was honest and showed me the problem, no drawing it out. He was also completely honest when there was nothing he could do for a lighting fixture and happily gave me my options (replace the canopy or use super glue). He is honest, hard working and happy! I couldn't ask for anything more. I will call him again!

Caroline B.

You could not ask for a more perfect experience. Jason is truly awesome. He's a very honest electrician and does things correctly. I would recommend him to anyone!

I will continue to use him.

OUTSTANDING...I found Romano Electric through yelp. I needed someone to install my 55 flat screen TV on the wall.
Jason did a fantastic job, he was extremely professional and was very efficient. He seemed highly skilled and made sure that we were totally happy with the work before he left.
His prices were very good compared to other quotes I received and I was extremely happy with the work he completed.
I would definitely call Jason again and again for any electrical issues. I have already recommended him to all my friends.

As if he needs any more 5 star reviews right? Well Jason with Romano Electric certainly deserves one from me! He was on time, polite, professional, and very knowledgable. I couldn't have wished for more! The work that he performed was top quality too! I am very pleased!!

Kiet D.

10/09/2009 12:00:00 SA

Jason was prompt, fast, and professional. I described the problem with our kitchen lighting fixture, and he knew exactly what the problem was. He stopped off at Home Depot to get a part, and had the repair done in about 15 minutes.
He's also very friendly without the condescending attitude you might find with other older contractors.
Would call him again in a heartbeat!

I called Jason based on his ratings on Yelp. He was booked far in advance (I understood that to be a good sign of the quality of his work). He is AWESOME! He has replaced outdoor light fixtures and is installing new grounded outlets in my old home. He will continue to do electrical work for me as I remodel my home.
He shows up on time, is honest and trustworthy. He does a fantastic job!

Definitely a man of both skill and integrity -- check him out.

We were considering updating a circuit for our kitchen. Jason Romano looked over the wiring and was very honest and up front about the job: it was really risky. I was impressed with his integrity and honesty because it could've gone badly if something went wrong.

We used a referral of his to cut out a section of our countertop and install a new cooktop. The wiring was a little tricky, but Jason Romano came out that same day and hooked up our electric cooktop on short notice, and did a flawless job.

Highly recommended.

Jason did some work for us when we upgraded the lighting in our kitchen. He was professional, punctual, courteous, and took time to explain what he was doing and answer all of my questions. In fact, we felt that he treated the work on our house as if was his own (although I've actually no idea how he treats his own house...lol).

I would not hesitate to recommend him and will certainly hire his services in the future, as fairly priced honest service such as offered by Romano Electric is hard to find!

Jason rewired my ceiling fan and replaced all the flourescent light fixtures in my bathrooms. He was knowledgeable, on time, friendly, responsive, had reasonable rates, and went out of his way to make sure his work was completed to my satisfaction. I would definitely hire Jason again for any needed electrical jobs.

Jason did some work on my house during the summer - replacing some old light fixtures in my bathroom, adding new fixtures in my hallway. He was prompt, professional, and efficient. Very different from the previous electrician who I used to ground my outlets in my house.

Recently one of the new light fixtures he installed was having troubles and he came out immediately to see what was happening. It turned out that I had gotten a faulty light fixture. He fixed it in no time.

He also noticed that the fixture was running hot and told me to keep an eye on it - as over time, it can present a problem with the wiring. I was impressed that he was trying to keep my home safe.

I found Jason through yelp for another problem earlier in the year. Unfortunately he was on vacation but he called me anyway. He told me who I could call (PG&E & referred another electrician) to see what the problem was. It turned out to be a PG&E problem. He called me back when he returned from vacation to see if the issue was resolved. I was so impressed that I kept his number for future reference - and I am really glad that I did.

I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him for all my electrical needs.

Excellent Service!! Called them in the morning, half of my house had the lights go out, and spoke with Debra, she was able to fit me in the afternoon. Very good communication in keeping the customer informed. Jason came out (who's the owner) and got my lights back up. He explained everything what was needed for the repair. Jason did a quality job, I would recommend Romano Electric to anybody needing electrical service.

Jason installed a sub panel in my garage to run my new air compressor and future circuts for a well pump. Along with a heavy duty plug for my welding machine. I was in the dog house with my wife untill he added a really great light over the laundy. This kind of attention to detail is what makes a professional. ( and saved my butt ) Thanks again Jason........

Called Jason out on a troubleshooting exercise. A recent space heater purchase was causing havoc to my electrical system. He was able to find the problem quickly, a small amount of fire damage, and suggest a quick course of action. Very thorough, he took the time to audit the breaker box and found an incorrectly sized circuit (20A fuse instead of 15A).

Jason was clear and informative, explaining the root cause, metal crimping in all the junction boxes and why they fail over time creating arcing and eventually fires. He is very safety oriented and pointed out code violations and how to fix them.

Because he had to remove some dry wall, he put in a nice temporary patch and was good enough to point out some termite damage to the studs.

Not all the issues where resolved after his initial visit, he came out a second time, late in the evening, and diagnosed and fixed a couple more problems quickly and efficiently.

Jason is responsive to email and phone calls, and makes an effort to keep his customers updated. I'm very happy with the work and plan on using his company again.

We needed an outlet installed for a washer/dryer, a pretty straightforward job. We got an estimate of almost $600 (not even including permit cost!) from one company and thought it was a bit inflated. We contacted Jason based on his great reviews on Yelp. Without knowing the other company's cost, he gave us a much fairer price for the job. Not only that, he was professional, polite, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to have around! We will definitely keep him on file for future projects! :)

Based upon excellent Yelp reviews, I gave Jason at Romano Electric a call for a relatively minor job. I left a message on his machine and he promptly called me back the very next day. I explained what I needed and he said he could do the job two days later.

Two days later Jason called and said he had finished work early on another job and asked if he could come by earlier, otherwise he would wait and show up as scheduled. He arrived early, assessed the job quickly and began work in minutes. The work was completed quickly and professionally. Everything worked perfectly.

There was no surprise on price and he came in at the bottom of the range he quoted on the telephone.

Jason has a very friendly and professional attitude and prides himself on doing quality work at an affordable price. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.

I wanted Jason to replace my outdoor lights with two new ones from Restoration Hardware and also troubleshoot a bathroom light. While he walking around for the estimate, I asked him to deck out my study, bedroom and living room with recessed can lights. His estimate for that was fine and I confirmed the work.

He is busy but did start when he said he would and did fantastic work, including working around a slight crack in the acoustic ceiling in the living room.

All in all a perfect job and the new lighting really modernizes a 1971-built condo. Understandably in high-demand -- be patient and you'll get a great electrical job for your house or business.

Jason is the man! Out of all of the tradesmen I've been working with to get a cottage built in my backyard, Jason has been the most professional, honest, and helpful.

He and David did the rough-in electrical work, running wire from our main panel to a sub that will eventually hang on the exterior of the cottage. They worked quickly. They did exactly the work they said they'd do. They even patched a hole in the wall where the conduit had to run, unlike our plumber, who left a gaping hole for the gas line for me to repair myself. Jason even helped me plan out the circuit map for the cottage. Out of five electricians I called, Jason even offered the best price!

Bottom line: hire these guys to do your electrical work.

I have a power off problem last night for the whole house which PGE already stated not their problem and not able to help out. So I went on to Yelp and found this and I read most of the reviews, so I give Jason a call this morning, coz we need to get back to our life ASAP. I called and left message, I waited for the whole day. No one reply my call at all. So I called another electrician in San Jose, he responsed and came a couple hours later, we have the power back. I guess Mr. JASON just too busy to reply to new customer. And after reading all these 5 stars reviews, the it was pretty disappointed when reality is not what you expected. Sorry..... :(

FYI, I called just now and they are booked for the next one and a half months! I'm sure they're great, and they must be getting a lot of business through YELP since everyone here says they're great, but I'm trying someone else since that's way too long to wait for the little job I need done soon.

Jason installed a new service panel in my home, and upgrading the wiring in my home, including some whole house ethernet connections. He is a great example of under commit and over-deliver. Even though most of the electrical contractors all said they wouldn't repair the stucco around the service panel, he actually had his brother in law come and repair the stucco around the service panel at no additional cost even though we agreed that he wasn't obligated to repiar it. He did a great job, on schedule, with no additional surprise charges, and installed more than we agreed to. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any electrical work in their home.

This review is long overdue and well deserved. Jason Romano was recommended by Steve Triplett with Tripletts Home Improvement in San Jose (an excellent framer/carpenter). I was building a home-office in my garage (separate from the house) in December. Jason reviewed my layout for the room (computer, recessed lights + fan, heater/AC, etc.) and offered some sound advice (improvements). He was always on time, well organized and polite. His initial quote and final invoice were professional and detailed (he's quick to give his wife credit for these). He returned after the job was complete to verify I was happy and even helped me diagram the wiring for future reference. His rates are reasonable so be sure to call him. If he is busy, be patient as he is worth the wait.

Called and left a message to get a quote on electrical work. No one ever called me back. Called and left a message with AAA Electrical, and got a call back 20 minutes later, and they were able to come THAT day and fix it. I'm sure they do good work, if you are one of the lucky few to get them to return your call, and get an appointment.

I used Romano Electric to replace exhaust fans in 3 bathrooms and fluorescent lights in our garage. Jason showed up on time, he was extremely neat, and finished the work in less time than he anticipated. Plus, he's a really nice guy. I found his name on Yelp and am very satisfied. Highly recommended!

I was having trouble with my garbage disposal, and it turned out to be something mechanical, which Jason figured out within a couple minutes. I had him look at a few other things, and he fixed them all, even making some of the electric fixtures more safe along the way. He was patient and thorough, but efficient. He's also a pretty cool guy! He really seems to love helping people.

I got Jason's name from previous Yelp reviews and am very very glad I did. I had kitchen electrical outlet issues which he helped me solve over the phone. He was extremely patient as I went and checked all the possible culprits to my problem. There aren't many honest people out there, so if you want honesty and and all around nice person to talk to, Jason is your man!

Wow...what can I say. I had quite a bit of electrical work done at my restaurant (new lights, ceiling speakers, new electrical hookups), and Jason did an outstanding job with everything. He first came out and assessed the work, assured me that he could do the job, and finished the work on time, and the place looks great. Jason had to work after we closed each night, and had everything done and cleaned up by the next morning. I can't say enough about his professionalism and attention to detail, and keeping me updated with the progress. If you need any electrical work done for your home or business, Jason is the man.

Romano Electric did absolutely top notch work. Jason came to provide an estimate - on time, and prepared. He discussed the potential issue that they might encounter and how they would deal with them. They did FANTASTIC work - cleaned up every day and treated my home as if it were theirs. I consider his service A+. He understands that he is coming into your home and his reputation matters - i highly recommend Romano. I've had them do two jobs now - one rather small in the garage, and one more significant job putting in spots in a difficult spot in the Living Room and Dining Room. They did a GREAT job. Unqualified recommendation for Romano

Used Jason a couple years ago and had him back for my mother in law's house. Another perfect job - came when he said for the estimate, timely estimate, worked with me on when I could be home to let him in, and did a great job. Couldn't be happier.

I got Jason's name from previous Yelp reviews and am very very glad I did. He did troubleshooting at my 93 year old Mother's mobile home after we had weeks of flickering lights and off and on machines. Within an hour he found the problem that no one else had and by fixing it - averted what could have been a fire. He is polite, on time, personable and really knows his stuff. He is very thorough and his rates are reasonable. He is worth every penny! I will definately pass his name on to others and will highly recommend him. Thank you Jason!!

I have to say I'm way over due writing this review. Jason did a lot of electrical work at our house. When someone does a good job and you are completely happy with their work you don't always take the time to sit and write a review. I was enjoying the exterior sound system he installed yesterday and a friend remarked what a nice job they did installing the speakers. I looked up and noticed he was right! no wires anywhere and the sound is perfect. I started making a list of new projects today and I will be calling Jason to do the work.

We had Devan from Romano's come to our house today to fix some broken outlets, and we were very happy with the overall experience. We were able to make an appointment quickly & easily. Devan was on-time, and called ahead to confirm when he'd arrive. He was so nice & polite, and worked quickly & efficiently. And, of course, our outlets are back in working order! Would definitely recommend their service.

I called Romano Electric to wire in an outlet for my garage door opener and wire some lighting in the garage. Jason came out, and was fantastic. He did great work, and even took the time to go purchase some parts for me (since I didn't tell him about the light installation until after he had arrived). He did the work in a timely manner, and the price was right. He really has great customer service, which is a rarity these days. I will be calling him in the future for all my electrical needs.

03/12/2012 12:00:00 SA

I was really impressed with these guys! I selected Romano to fix a fluorescent light fixture in my bathroom based on the high Yelp reviews, and they lived up to the hype! 1. The lady on the phone (Debra?) gave me a time that Devin would arrive, and he did...not a time WINDOW now, an exact time! 2. Devin was very nice and answered all my questions, let me watch what he was doing, and even put up with my cat trying to play with the wiring. 3. Very efficiently done, and the rates are reasonable. I would definitely use them again.

We did some work in our garage to make it more usable as an extension of our living space. We finished the walls with sheet rock, replaced the counter tops and cabinets, and added outlets and lights. After searching on Yelp for an electrician, we came across Romano Electric. Based on the ratings, we called them up. First impression after talking to Debra was positive. Responsive and friendly. When the owner, Jason, came to prepare an estimate for the work, we found him to be very personable and professional. Not rushed or pushy at all, and willing to answer all of our questions. The estimate was provided in a prompt manner and was very reasonable for the amount of work that needed to be done. Scheduling the work was a very smooth process. Jason did much of the work himself, and what he didn't do personally, he always let us know who would be coming to do the work. The other employees proved to be just as professional and courteous as Jason. When a few changes needed to be made, there was no question it was just done. I feel Jason went above and beyond what another contractor would have done. Overall, we were very pleased with Romano Electric from start to finish and would not hesitate to use them again or to refer them to friends.

Since we moved to our home Jason from Romano Electric has been the 4th electrician to do work on our house. We have had such bad luck in the past that we went to Yelp to find Jason. Jason from Romano Electric has really turned my thoughts to such a positive way in this field, thank you Yelp. Everything he has done for us has been really thought out. When working in the attic he laid all the wiring between the ceiling framing so I was able to lay down plywood and use my attic for storage. Jason has put in can lights in 4 rooms and troubleshooted several rooms that had wiring problems.. All of his work is neat and he really takes care on how he walks through the house with his tool belt. It's amazing how many contractors smack your furniture or door wood trim with their tool belt. Jason has so many electrical projects still to do at our house, he is the only one I feel comfortable to do them and do it right.

I registered for my account with Yelp so that I could write Jason a five star review. I had to laugh when I looked up his business and found out he already had 33 five star reviews. Anyhow, not sure what I can add, but we've had Jason out to both our new house and our old house, and he's never been anything but super-friendly, responsive, thorough and professional. We've obviously been happy with the quality of the work he's done for us. He's also gone out of his way to deliver us a written report we needed to our house on a Saturday when he wasn't working.

I had a tricky wiring problem that I wanted expert help with. I searched Yelp for recommended electricians and found Romano Electric. I called, and was told an electrician was in my neighborhood and could be available later that same day. Devin arrived at the appointed time, inspected my wiring problem and wired up the circuit quickly and efficiently. He was friendly and explained what he was doing as he performed the work. Total elapsed time from placing the call to expertly completed work was under two hours. Outstanding!

Jason and Devin were great - absolutely professional from the bid to the work to the cleanup and follow-up. We had them install recessed lighting and pendant lights and couldn't be happier. The price was fair, the scheduling was convenient, they showed up on time and did the work with great care - covering up work spaces, making sure alignment was perfect, cleaning up, etc. Would highly recommend and would definitely use them again.

Look no further for an electrician! This is my first yelp review...I am writing it because I was so impressed with Romano Electric that I felt I needed to share my experience with other people who are looking for an amazing electrician. I contacted Romano Electric for a flickering light problem and some advice on my fuse box. The phone was answered by Debra, a friendly, understanding and efficient scheduler! She told me Jason would swing by and complete an initial assessment. Jason arrived on time and quickly figured out the work that needed to be completed. Although he was swamped with other jobs, he promised to fit me into his schedule. He returned to complete his work on time and was very efficient in getting the job done quickly. I braced myself for a large bill given the caliber of work and was delighted with the final charge! Compared to other electricians, his pricing was super reasonable...and on top of it all, he is a super nice guy!

My stove top was out and under warranty with a major company. Their electrician came out and was at my house for over two hours and determined the issue to be a circuit breaker. Of course he would not look at it. Checked Yelp for an electrician and saw that Romano was on top of the list with a five star rating. Got to check them out right? As Yelps ratings go, this privately owned company is As good as it gets. From the call taker Debbie to Jason who came out without a doubt they're #1. This guy really appreciates his business and understands customer service. He will NOT try and charge you for something you do not need. I was quoted a rate for the first hour and becasue my problem was so small he didn't want to charge the full rate. Where are you going to see that these days? Jason is one of these guys you just know from the start he is trustworthy and knowledgeable. From a retired law enforcement sergeant give this company a try for all of your electrial needs. Without question I will use him again and refer him with Yelp's 5 Star rating. Thanks Debbie, Jason and the others who took the time to write your reviews. It made a difference with me.
